Important if you have a Sam's Club membership

[cb977]

Last week when my order was being rung up at Sam's, the register notified us that my card is expiring at the end of December. Thankfully, the cashier didn't allow me to renew when I said "okay". He said that when you renew, the new membership starts on that date, not at the end of your existing membership! He said to wait until the day after your card expires to renew it. Being the skeptic that I am, I contacted Sam's to find out what the truth is and this is the response I received:

Thank you for contacting Sam's Club. Your start date commences on the date that you renew.

Amazing! If that cashier had listened to me saying okay, I would have lost out on over a month on my existing membership!
It's a rip-off!

Thought it was important enough to let my friends know about it,
